How do I install Laravel/Artisan into an existing Laravel project? - php

Question

I have an existing Laravel project that doesn't include the entire Laravel framework including Artisan CLI and its dependencies. I would like to do Migrations/Seeding for this existing Laravel project working with Artisan CLI.
What do I have to install/include in the existing Laravel project composer.json to get Laravel/Artisan CLI and its dependencies into an existing Laravel project?
Here is what my composer.json file looks like:
"require": {
"illuminate/database": "^8.61",
"illuminate/support": "^8.61",
"illuminate/http": "^8.61",
"illuminate/events": "^8.61",
"sebastiansulinski/string-converter": "^3.0",
"jenssegers/blade": "^1.2",
"swiftmailer/swiftmailer": "^6.2.1",
"nesbot/carbon": "^2.22",
"ext-openssl": "*",
"ext-json": "*",
"dyrynda/laravel-efficient-uuid": "^4.3",
"aws/aws-sdk-php": "^3.129",
"ext-curl": "*",
"whichbrowser/parser": "^2.0.42",
"spomky-labs/otphp": "^10.0",
"endroid/qr-code": "^4.3",
"twilio/sdk": "^6.16",
"laravel/tinker": "^2.7"
},

I think the package you are looking for is
"illuminate/console"
Also make sure you have artisan file in you project root directory.
If there is no artisan file then you need to create one, here is the content for the file
#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php
define('LARAVEL_START', microtime(true));
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Register The Auto Loader
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Composer provides a convenient, automatically generated class loader
| for our application. We just need to utilize it! We'll require it
| into the script here so that we do not have to worry about the
| loading of any our classes "manually". Feels great to relax.
|
*/
require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/app.php';
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Run The Artisan Application
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| When we run the console application, the current CLI command will be
| executed in this console and the response sent back to a terminal
| or another output device for the developers. Here goes nothing!
|
*/
$kernel = $app->make(Illuminate\Contracts\Console\Kernel::class);
$status = $kernel->handle(
$input = new Symfony\Component\Console\Input\ArgvInput,
new Symfony\Component\Console\Output\ConsoleOutput
);
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Shutdown The Application
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Once Artisan has finished running, we will fire off the shutdown events
| so that any final work may be done by the application before we shut
| down the process. This is the last thing to happen to the request.
|
*/
$kernel->terminate($input, $status);
exit($status);
